    Division of the Greater Middle East
    Division of the Greater Middle East

    These two linguistic cultural groupings provide a nice middle boundary in the geopolitical area known as the greater Middle East. The Arabian border is based on the Arab league, and there Perso-Turkic is based on countries that have an iranic/turkic language as a majority language, while also being influenced a lot by Turkic and Iranic cultures in their history.

    Now of course with such macro groupings there are bound to be nuances so let’s address some of them. In both groups you will find subdivisions that might belong to the other, especially at the borders such as the Kurdish people of Iraq or the Arabs of Ahvaz and Hatay. However I chose to go with the majority population of countries to enforce more rigid borders. Pakistan, Armenia and Georgia are also sometimes included in the great Middle East term, however linguistically they don’t really belong to either group, however they would be more linked to the Perso-Turkic grouping thanks to the cultural influence of Achamenids, Parthians, Sassanians and more on Armenian and Georgian cultures. Pakistan itself has many Iranic speakers such as Baloch and Pashto, and Urdu itself is very Persian influenced so it would fit as well. I chose not to show them however because I tried to be more rigid giving more weight to the linguistic majority.

    I also have to emphasize this isn’t merely a linguistic grouping but a historical and cultural too, as one can observe for Persianate societies and Arabized polities as well.

    1912 German federal election results [OC]
    1912 German federal election results [OC]

    Own work.

    Map outline and borders based upon https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Karte\_Deutsches\_Reich,\_Verwaltungsgliederung\_1900-01-01.png.

    Source is Kaiserliches Statistisches Amt. (1913). Statistik des Deutschen Reichs: Die Reichstagswahlen von 1912 (Bd. 250). Berlin: Verlag von Puttkammer & Mühlbrecht. Retrieved from https://books.google.pl/books?id=CttLAAAAYAAJ.

    I decided to make my own map of at least one pre-WWI German election, as I couldn't find any modern maps even hinting to the fact that the German Empire used a two-round system, let alone displaying information about run-off results. I apologise for technical or visual shortcomings, this is my first election map.

    ***

    The final election in the German Reich before the Great War. All 397 members of the Reichstag were elected in single-member constituencies of varying size and population using the two-round system, also known as run-off voting, with universal male suffrage.

    Short and general descriptions of parties that won seats:

    • Social Democratic Party (SPD) - social democratic or socialist party of workers
    • Centre Party (ZENTRUM) - christian democratic party of Catholics
    • National-Liberal Party (NLP) - so-called right-liberal party
    • Progressive People's Party (FVP) - merger of so-called left-liberal parties
    • German-Conservative Party (DKP) - hard conservative party
    • German Reich Party (DRP) - moderate and liberal conservative party
    • Minority parties - summarised results of local regionalist parties or parties representing national minorities: Poles, Danes, Alsace-Lorraine, Hannover. Lithuanian candidate took part in run-off in Königsberg 1 (Memel), but was defeated by the National Liberal candidate. The German-Hanoverian Party was an agrarian party campaigning for Hanover's status as a federal state of Germany, rather than a province of Prussia.
    • Antisemites - various parties connected by their open antisemitism.
    • Peasant parties - local agrarian parties.

    North America divided into regions of 1 million people
    North America divided into regions of 1 million people

    higher res image here! anita.garden/assets/na1m.png

    each region contains a million people, to within 5% of the last census or government published estimate.

    i drew the lines trying to respect:

    • 1 million people
    • urban/rural divide
    • linguistic boundaries
    • existing borders / admin divisions
    • native territories
    • mountain ranges
    • rivers

    the colors don't strictly mean anything, but within a general area the more saturated regions are usually denser.

    for the names, i tried to draw on a mix of rivers, cities, historical region names, native tribe names, mountains, depending on what i thought was closest to a shared characteristic of the whole region.

    the little '+'s are hypothetical capital cities.

    i used asesprite to draw. i used citypopulation.de for convenient access to subdivision census data. i used geopandas to draw the base reference map of coastlines and cities. reference shapefiles and city data are from naturalearthdata.com and simplemaps.com

    feedback is welcomed! let me know if you think i messed up where you live.

    you can check out my other maps at anita.garden/projects, i have done a europe 1 million map and more.

    Ethnic Changes in the Bosnian and Croatian Wars

    Inspired by the absolutely terrible map posted (and deleted) earlier today, I tried to make a slightly better one.

    Edit:

    I should clarify some things. The numbers represent the amount of people displaced / lost from each ethnic group / territory. The percentage is the percentage of the pre-war population that was displaced (i.e. 523k Bosniaks from RS represent 91% of the pre-war Bosniak population in RS).

    RS - Republika Srpska, Serb controlled part of Bosnia

    HB - Herzeg-Bosnia, Croat controlled part of Bosnia

    RSK - Republika Srpska Krajina, Serb controlled part of Croatia

    Red - Croatia / Croat controlled

    Blue - Serbia / Serb controlled

    Yellow - Bosniak

    Striped - Minority groups
